Spring Carnivals 2012

The Spring Carnivals are a great excuse to get all dressed up! This year the Melbourne Cup celebrated 50 years of fashions on the field at Flemington, so we have put together some of the beautiful dresses and fascinators for you.

 There are such a variety of head pieces, from floral to head jewellery and turbans – anything goes! For the dresses, the peplum proved to be quite a popular trend at the carnival this year along with clean and simple looks.

Real Bride: Naomi James & Ben Pinkerton

Naomi and Ben were married on the 17th March 2012 at Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church, Annandale. Here, Naomi talks about the fine details of how her elegant look came together.

 

 

 

 

"I had my hair piled high in a bun, and my hairdresser wove little tiny plaits across the bun. I wore tear drop crystal earrings and a beautiful tennis bracelet.

 

The accessories complemented the gown perfectly - since the neckline was so intricate and the bow so prominent I had minimal jewellery to keep attention focused on the dress itself. The heels gave me the height that made the fishtail bottom slightly more elongated."

 

Naomi describes her wedding as 'Garden-Glam' as you can see the picturesque backdrops in these beautiful images.

 



"I loved the fish tail - I think it really accentuated my natural body shape and the neckline was beautiful, very elegant with its lace - like appearance."

Naomi's gown is by Spanish brand, La Sposa.

Congratulations Naomi & Ben!
